National quantum strategy consulting for governments
A national quantum strategy is a government’s plan for building quantum capability: the evidence base, the objectives, the parts of the value chain to back, the funding and the delivery mechanisms. The Quantum Insider (TQI) supports governments with the evidence and options behind that plan, drawing on the TQI Intelligence Platform and on national and regional programs it has supported.
Updated Q4 2026
What a national quantum strategy has to settle
Governments that build a strategy usually work through five questions in order. TQI supports each one.
What the country already has
Which companies, research groups, patents and skills exist in the jurisdiction, and how that compares with peer nations.
What to back
Which parts of the value chain to prioritize, and which objectives and targets to set.
How much to commit
The size of the funding envelope, tested against economic impact scenarios for jobs, investment and growth.
How to deliver
Delivery mechanisms such as testbeds, procurement programs and talent pipelines, set out as an implementation plan.
How to measure
Measurement matters as much as design, because programs are typically reviewed against economic impact within three to five years.
Who commissions national strategy support
The clients are the bodies that write, fund and review a strategy.
National governments and agencies
Clients include national governments and agencies, among them the UK, Canada and Denmark.
State and regional programs
US state programs and regional collaboratives, including the MassTech Collaborative in Massachusetts and the Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative.
Industry bodies and alliances
Consortia such as QED-C that benchmark an industry across countries, and international organizations such as NATO.
What the engagement delivers
The consulting page lists national strategy inputs among its decision-ready outputs. In practice the deliverables map to the five questions above.
| Strategy question | Deliverable | Built from |
|---|---|---|
| What the country has | A benchmarked ecosystem assessment against peer nations | Platform data on companies, funding, patents and research |
| What to back | Options for priorities and objectives | Expert analysis and stakeholder consultation |
| How much to commit | Economic impact scenarios for jobs, investment and growth | Economic impact modeling |
| How to deliver | An implementation plan for testbeds, procurement and talent | Ecosystem development design |
| How to measure | An approach for reviewing the program against economic impact | Scenario results and program indicators |
How a national strategy engagement runs
Every TQI engagement follows four stages and opens with a data pull from the TQI Intelligence Platform. For a national strategy they run as follows.
Baseline from the platform
We assess the companies, funding flows, patents, research activity, partnerships and national program picture for your jurisdiction, and set them against peer nations.
Expert analysis
Consultants and PhD holders interpret the data against your goals and set out options for objectives, priorities and funding.
Primary validation
We consult stakeholders across government, industry and academia, because strategy depends on what those groups will commit to.
Decision-ready delivery
You receive strategy inputs built for the decision, delivered to the senior officials who must take it.
National and regional ecosystem assessments and economic impact studies are multi-month engagements, because they involve stakeholder consultation across government, industry and academia. The team confirms timing when it scopes the work.

National quantum strategy, answered
What is a national quantum strategy?
A national quantum strategy is a government’s published plan for building quantum technology capability. It usually names a lead agency, sets targets and commits funding. Some countries run a flagship program without a standalone strategy.
How do governments build a national quantum strategy?
They usually start with an evidence base: which companies, research groups, patents and skills already exist, and how that compares with peer nations. They then set objectives, choose which parts of the value chain to back, size the funding envelope and design delivery mechanisms such as testbeds, procurement programs and talent pipelines. Programs are typically reviewed against economic impact within three to five years.
Who provides national quantum strategy support for governments?
TQI Advisory provides it. Clients include national governments and agencies, among them the UK, Canada and Denmark, plus US state programs and G7 agencies. TQI has supported national and regional programs including UK BIST (formerly DSIT), MassTech in Massachusetts, the Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative, South Carolina, NATO and QED-C.
Which countries have a national quantum strategy?
The Quantum Insider data page lists a dataset on program-level government quantum funding by country, which shows which governments back national programs.
How long does national strategy work take?
National and regional ecosystem assessments and economic impact studies are multi-month engagements because they involve stakeholder consultation across government, industry and academia. Starting from a live dataset shortens the research phase.
What does national strategy consulting cost?
Pricing is scoped individually, because a national ecosystem assessment differs from a focused review or an ongoing advisory retainer. There is no rate card. Tell us the decision in front of you and the team will come back with a scoped proposal and options.
